The police in Katsina State have arrested one Khamis Abdullahi, of W02 Quarters, NDA, Kaduna, for allegedly defrauding and stealing from unsuspecting members of the public while posing as an officer of the Nigerian Air Force.

According to a statement by the Police Public Relations Officer (PPRO), Gambo Isah, nemesis caught up with the suspect when, on November 24, at about 10:11 a.m., dressed in Nigerian Air force uniform, bearing the name, K. Abdullahi with Captain rank, approached one Muhammadu Isah Girka, a car dealer in Alfrah Motors LTD, IBB Way, Katsina and introduced himself as an Air Force Captain who returned from the United Kingdom and was posted Katsina on special duty as a pilot.

“He demanded to buy a Toyota Corolla S, 2016 Model, blue in colour, valued at N5,400,000 from the car stand.

“In the process, he deceitfully filled a bank transfer teller for the sum of N5,400,000 stamped with his fabricated fake stamp and asked the victim to sign.

“He later created a fake bank alert of the said amount and showed it to the victim who believed it to be true and genuine. They later proceeded to Alfra motors, where the fake Air Force deceitfully took the vehicle and left to unknown destination.”

The police spokesperson said when the car dealer later discovered what had happened, he reported the matter at the police station, while in the course of investigation, suspect was accosted with the stolen vehicle at Hunkuyi Junction on the highway along Danja to Zaria.
